Japanese Restaurants near Pinecrest

“My spouse and I tried 1111 Nikkei for the first time today. We live in the area and decided to go on a lunch date. We arrived at 12 PM, when they open, and were the first folks there. The food was outstanding and came out quickly. We had the lomo saltado spring rolls, bao buns, tuna acevchiado roll, and the carretillero ceviche. Everything was great (spring rolls were especially good). We will be here again. Highly recommend.“

“You guys will have a gastronomical orgasm here. From the sushi to the dessert I wanted to cry tears of joy with each bite. You guys remember when the restaurant critic had a bite of Remy’s ratatouille and it took him back to his childhood when he was just a lad, that’s what will happen to you here.“

Can't wait to actually sit down and experience Moshi Moshi at their location in Brickell.“

“7.9/10 Dined on 3/11/24 Originally hailing from Austin, Uchi's Miami outpost serves non-traditional Japanese cuisine in a sleek and upscale environment. Uchi kind of feels like what Nobu was 15 years ago - an innovative twist on Japanese food. At Uchi, however, you won't find seemingly ubiquitous spicy mayo or rock shrimp tempura. We went for happy hour and sampled nearly all of the hot and cold dishes offered. Many were well conceptualized and delicious, but some fell a bit flat. Even happy hour was a four dollar sign affair, so we can only imagine the sticker shock of a full fledged dinner. Overall, Uchi was a very solid meal although the flavors did not soar quite as high as the price tag.

There were some dishes that were absolutely delicious - the paloma crudo, for example, which featured ultra-fresh sea bass in a light and smoky sauce. The walu walu was similarly excellent and glazed with sticky sweet candied citrus. The charred short rib served over a bed of crispy rice with flavorful salsa matcha was a treat. The wagyu gyoza were juicy and surprisingly paired well with the mango chutney. Not every dish stood out though. The spring rolls with duck confit were minuscule and lackluster for the price and the sauce was far too thin to cling to the rolls. The chicken karaage was inconsistent - some pieces were crisp while others lacked breading and felt soggy. The fried milk dessert was good, but its arrival with the check was tacky and soured the end of an otherwise pleasant meal. -TWP ________________________________ Uchi happy hour is basically just bougie girl dinner. We got half off a bottle of sparkling rosé and a series of small bites that ranged a bit in their quality, but on average were well-conceptualized and featured top notch ingredients. The raw seafood stood out for being extremely fresh and were often paired with an interesting citrus-forward sauce. The crispy rice and gyutoro was also very tasty and well-executed and felt like the best value on the menu. Some other items, notably the spring rolls with duck confit, felt really skimpy for their price and didn't wow us in any particular way. Overall, Uchi offers creative dishes and excellent ingredients, but lacks the value and consistency of our highest-rated restaurants. -JB“

“Delicious Omakaze experience with a wide variety of sashimi and rolls. My fave was the shiitake rolls. And I was obsessed with the wasabi oil they gave us for the hand roll. The service was amazing and the itamaes the best, we even got to try a very fluffy matcha biscuit and the shaved ice with mint and lemony taste was amazing!“

“I was finally able to try this place and I have no regrets, the food was so delicious and had so much flavor. I had the best Pad Thai I have ever had, we also tried the Pork Gyozas and they were perfectly made, my husband ordered the Ramen soup and he loved it, the chicken in the soup tasted fresh and delightful. We also ordered their Crab rangoon, which were exquisite and mouthwatering! We loved the ambiance and the service was great too, our host was very attentive she asked us plenty of time if we needed anything. We are definitely coming back, we loved this place!“

“During my previous visit /delivery weeks ago I had an issue with my order. The manager Julio Carreno went above and beyond to make sure this time I would be highly satisfied and my order would be perfect and he would hand deliver it himself to make sure everything was done correctly. I must say he's a man of his word and made everything perfect. On top of the wonderful service and great tasting sushi, I received a dessert and a bag of corn nuts. Thanks again Julio for everything, I appreciate you.“

“This is my 2nd visit to Sokai but this makes it my first at this location. From the service provided by Orianna, to the food & drinks, the atmosphere, all is just a perfect place to come and visit. Highly recommend when you come in ask for Orianna.“

“First time visiting this restaurant in Doral. Peruvian cuisine, and love the scenery outside. Nice patio area, with fresh air and totally different view. Overall the food was good not great, a little too salty on the lomo saltado, and the jalea mix, the monster burger was good, but missing lettuce and tomato, something burgers must always have, the spinach dip was really good, tasty and yummy, and the Japanese beer was a great selection. Our server, could have done a better job, at times she was nowhere to be found, and missed out on the little things that could have put my overall view different from this place. A solid four stars, honestly I do not know if I would come back to try their Sushi dishes!“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“One of the MOST INSANELY SCRUMPTIOUS MEALS in Miami - wepa!!!! All the 5 appetizers we ordered, and the 2 main dishes… everything had a delicious and a unique twist on Dominican / Japanese infusion.Also… the server Liz was very quick and MUY AMABLE to our group and made us feel welcomed!“

“Maria at Sokai provided outstanding service! Her friendly demeanor and helpful recommendations made our dining experience truly enjoyable. She ensured our glasses were never empty and attended to our needs with professionalism. We'll definitely be returning to Sokai, thanks to Maria's exceptional service!“

“Yesterday, the Novikov restaurant was the savior again, right at the entrance we were met by very friendly Hostess, they immediately took us to our table, the service was excellent, the food is always the most delicious restaurant I have tried in Miami, the DJ girl played great music, the atmosphere was great, we will definitely go back there and recommend it to everyone!!!!“

“Our experience on April 16th was superb,starting from the food and ending with the exceptional service.Our wine and water was refilled promptly and consistently ,my chair was gently pulled back when going and coming from the bathroom,to find also a new napkin waiting for me.The ladies on the floor were engaging,polite and passionate.GREAT JOB!.I fully enjoyed my time at Shingo.A big thank you to the chef and team for their dedication.“

“I have never before had a culinary experience like my time at Hiyakawa. From the moment you walk in you’ll be greeted by Amber and taken to your table, where you’re family. If you’re having trouble deciding on what to order, ask Miguel to give you the Miguelito special, your taste buds with thank you. Don’t sleep on the premier sushi/omakase experience in Miami!“

“OMG!!! Just WOOWW!!!! Please come here if you are by the area! You won’t regret it! The place is absolutely beautiful! The minute you walk in, you feel so at peace and relaxed! Such a beautiful atmosphere and even better service! The food was so quick to come and the waitress and waiter were the kindest and most attentive people ever! I remember the cheesy noodles (I was too hungry to take a pic) but just look at this Nutella crepe!!! BEST ASIAN RESTAURANT!!“

“Amazingly delicious. Sushi sauces very tasty. Great service. Close to the arena. However , The Prices are on the higher end. Not many table customers for friday night . Mostly take out. Hard to find parking, so park in the garage (valet) . Will definitely go back to try other rolls.“

“Asian Fusion is the BEST place to go for any Asian food. We frequent this restaurant for their yellow curry (we love it with chicken) and the pineapple fried rice. The Thai donuts are to die for! And the owner and staff are thoughtful, kind and helpful. Best dinner spot in south Florida, hands down!“

“Don't hesitate to book a table at this gem of a restaurant—it's quickly become my top choice for sticky rice and omakase dining in the area. It is located in a vibrant area with a spacious courtyard and various shops, and it offers the perfect opportunity for a post-meal exploration or dancing. The 16-course omakase experience here is a standout, especially for someone accustomed to the sushi scenes in NYC. It competes strongly on both quality and price.From the outset, the hostess Caroline set the tone with her warm, attentive service, ensuring my water glass was never empty and making my solo dining experience far from lonely through engaging conversations. The chef, with her Laotian heritage, masterfully prepared each dish, from the hand rolls to the sticky rice selections, adding a personal touch that enhances the dining experience. The variety of dishes was impressive, with the Japanese scallops, the A5 Wagyu hotplate, and the hand rolls being my personal highlights. To finished off the evening, the hostess surprised me with an early birthday desert treat. This, was truly the highlight of my food trip in Miami.Every time I find myself in Miami, this will undoubtedly be my chosen spot for an exceptional dining experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant and space has a ramp to enter the space.“

“Spectacular Kami Koi. The atmosphere, the delicious food, we were served by Josué who, in addition to being very friendly, explained each dish in detail and they were all delicious ?. Thank you Josué for your attention! 100% recommended and we will return soon.“

“High-quality sushi, delicious but not very big, a little on the pricey side but very good. Service was very attentive and on point. Had several dishes not seen on other sushi Thai restaurants. My wife had a fried chicken dish. Chicken was a little dry and not too much sauce to help it out. Overall, it was very good.“

“Had amazing experience at this restaurant! The food really exceeded my expectations, especially for being in the middle of Wynwood, I personally haven't had many good dining experiences here. My favorite were the Rock n Roll tempura and the Hoshi Dragon rolls, which were their signature dishes. The fish was fresh, and the dishes were all visually appealing. The service was also excellent, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Im hesitant to post this because it’s truly a hidden gem right now but this restaurant/market and chef Takashi deserve their praise. It’s the best and most authentic sushi I have had in Miami. It’s the only nigiri I’ve had that has the proper size and freshness you would expect from good, high quality nigiri. By far the most similar to the nigiri I have had in Japan. No tiny pieces where they’re skimping you out on fish and loading it with rice and sprinkling truffle oil to make a sad piece of nigiri look appealing. This is the real deal and so worth it. Can’t wait to check it out in person“

“With Belly Fish, I feel like you can’t go wrong whether you’re ordering a weeknight meal or a big catering platter. We’ve eaten some of the best omakases whether in Miami or Japan, yet I will always come back to this place. They’re now my go-to for delicious, fresh sushi with no nonsense! I love the scallop (seasonal), torched fish, foie gras add-on, salmon lovers rolls…. The list goes on. Pro tip, it can be hard to find their location (looks like a residential / apartment area) when picking up so give yourself extra time. Five stars across the board for belly fish- thank you!“

“I went to this restaurant recently, everything including the food, the servers, it is super clean. The food is amazing and the service is incomparable. They have two Tv’s that play basketball games, which is great and very entertaining. Love this restaurant and would totally recommend to anyone who likes seafood!“

“The most delicious food in Miami. Picky-eater friendly as well! I absolutely recommend the noodles, as they are served hot and delicious. Choose what you want to cook and you cook it exactly how you like it, thats why I love Gyu-Kaku! The staff at this location know how to make you feel like a superstar, 5 stars!“

“This was right across the street from our hotel and we thought about trying it a few times. Our Uber driver told us it was great so went the next morning for an early lunch. Our host/server was welcoming and gave us some great advice on the menu. The entire staff was friendly. It’s a small restaurant with a dozen bar stools or so and similar number of tables. Luckily we were there early and it was a holiday so no problem with seating. It was impeccably clean. We shared a few small plates including scallion pancakes, spring rolls and chicken dumplings. The mandarine orange sauce with the spring rolls was yummy. Food came quickly and was hot and fresh. The flavors were amazing. It was the best tasting food we had during our weekend in Miami.“

“I absolutely looove this place. It’s really a hidden gem. My waiter Reiny was so nice and she recommended us to try the coco-lemonade and it was so refreshing and delicious. I always get the banana crunch roll and ceviche empanadas and they never disappoint!! Come once and you’ll always come back!!“

“Food was amazing and every plate we tried was delicious! Also, the place is beautiful, clean, and cozy! I do have to take one star because the service was not what we expected, the servers were talking about the customers at the tables because it was almost closing time and 18% service fee is added to all tables but definitely worth trying! (March 22nd).“

“That was on a different level than me and my lady have experienced before. We read no reviews and had zero expectations and had the a BEST time. The food was beyond expectation but the atmosphere and service tired the whole experience to the perfect evening. We ordered extra chutoro, Spanish mackerel, and hobo at the end understanding this is a seasonal menu we can’t wait to come back for every season. 100/10 of an experience!“

“The food was delicious the takoyaki ( octopus balls )was crispy on the outside and warm and creamy on the inside such a delightful flavor is slightly sweet and savory. The Korean bowl is always a favorite it’s simple filling for a good price . The environment is cozy and clean perfect for a quick bite or a casual date .“

“BEST UDON I’VE EVER HAD!! The noodle texture is perfect and the soup is delicious. We also had uni and sashimi. The leaf (i believe is mint?) combine with uni is so refreshing, and easy to eat. Uni and beef udon is a MUST!!Parking: Easy parking right next to the entrance of restaurantKid-friendliness: There’s an adorable kids menu!! With hello Kitty and panda rice ball“

“Enzo is one of the most professional guy I have ever met. He’s always on a good mod , very respectful polite, smile on his face , proper clean uniform and ready for his customers, always knows and remembers what I order and never disappoints, food is excellent and environment absolutely awesome, I’ll recommend this please ? % . 10 stars ⭐️“

“What a great place! I had been to the one in Miami Lakes and loved it! This one is great too. Food is always delicious and portion sizes never disappoint. Service was warm and genuinely nice! Vanessa took care of us and gave us a frequent diner card so we will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Kampai! My friends and I stumbled upon this gem and were blown away by the delicious food and unbeatable prices. The cozy ambiance added to the charm of the place. The tuna and crispy rice were divine, and the eel rolls and gyozas were simply irresistible. But the real showstopper? The mango martinis - hands down the best I've ever had! The portions were generous, leaving us happily stuffed. Special shoutout to the attentive waitress who made our evening even more enjoyable. Kampai, you've won our hearts - we'll definitely be back for more!“

“Not gonna lie.. One of the reasons we fly out from the Caribbean to go to Miami. We love everything from this place.. Food bussinn....Staff always friendly and helpful. We can wait to be there again. If you cant fly to Japan for food just come here.“

“We had an amazing time and the food was amazing. Such a lovely atmosphere and setting for a special evening. All of the staff were very nice and the service was excellent They were very sensitive and attentive in helping me find gluten free options from the menu.“

“During our vacation, our visit to Sushi Sake Biscayne was a delight, marked by friendly staff and amazing food that truly stood out. My husband was particularly impressed with their sushi, praising its freshness and flavor, while I found myself enamored with their chicken fried rice and chicken hibachi—both dishes were cooked to perfection. We also indulged in their desserts, which were a wonderful end to our meal. The ambiance is welcoming, making for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch sushi and more.“

“This is one of our favorite omakase places in Miami. We have been to them all. Even the pop ups. Ahi is great, authentic Japanese omakase. If you like intimate small, causal setting with quality sushi / sashimi, I suggest this place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.“

“Embarking on a gastronomic journey at Sushi Maki in Coral Gables was nothing short of a revelation, and it was largely due to the exceptional service provided by our server, Jan.From the moment we crossed the threshold, Jan's attentiveness and finesse set the tone for an evening that transcended the ordinary. His quick promptness, coupled with an extensive knowledge of the menu, showcased a dedication to the art of serving that is rare to find.Jan guided us through the culinary landscape with the grace of a seasoned sommelier, recommending dishes that seamlessly complemented each other. His recommendations were not just about ingredients; they were about crafting an experience, and it was evident that he took pride in curating a memorable evening for every patron.What truly impressed me was the lasting impact of the experience! Weeks have passed since that culinary adventure, and yet, the memory of the evening lingers vividly in my mind. It is a testament to the outstanding service provided by Jan and the team at Sushi Maki Coral Gables. Having visited other Sushi Maki locations, it's discernible that the Coral Gables establishment truly stands out!“

“Compliments to the chef! Omg was this great! It's not often cutler bay offers a great dinning experience and much less sushi but beyond thrilled to have FINALLY discovered a spot we called prior to going to make sure they were open and when we went in we felt like real VIP. The chef was honestly and truly so sweet and kind and attentive. Big sushi buff here so I usually let them tell me what to get and boy was it delightful. We ordered some sake to start absolutely delicious with some Japanese craft beers one Pilsner and Amber so nice. For food we ordered crispy rice roll which was made perfectly the rice wasn't so hard but like other places but the perfect amount of crisp to rice ratio with the tuna and amazing jalapeño kick! As for the roles we had Kenny G role was delicious paired with their ponzu sauce which hear me out the best ponzu sauce of my life! It was so fresh so citrus flavored that brought out the flavor of the fish perfectly. We also got the orgasm roll which was also great tuna with seared salmon on top so good! Overall it was all delightful and the attention really was above and beyond. We look forward to going more often for great sushi you can tell the chefs passion and food was unmatched .“

“Locals, check this place out. Hidden local treasure. Outstanding service , ambience, food is amazing. The rolls are delicious, all the ingredients extremely fresh and they manage to keep the same quality even in deliveries.Highly recommend as a great hidden treasure in our city.“

“As a non-Japanese Japanese food conessuir, the food quality has exceeded my made up expectations. This place actually has Japanese menus that I assume real Japanese people could read, so I knew from the start that the food would be amazing.Now I think there's only one waiter that can actually speak it, so don't practice it with the others because they won't understand.“

“Exquisite flavors and impeccable presentation define the culinary experience at sake room Nestled in the heart of Key Biscayne, this gem offers an extensive array of sushi delicacies crafted with the freshest ingredients. From traditional favorites to innovative creations, each dish is a masterpiece of taste and artistry.

“I was so hungry I didn't take a picture of my sushi but I had the haiku. It was really good they made it with love because even though it was made on a truck the presentation and taste of it was amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by again for more before my vacation is over.“
